A. The relationship between the height and initial velocity is given in the equation,
                          d = ((Vi)² - (Vf)²) / 2g
Vf for this case is zero and g is equal to 32.2 ft/s². Substituting,
                            560 ft = (Vi)² / (2)(32.2)
The value of Vi is equal to 189.91 ft/s.
b. For the time, the equation is,
                            d = 0.5gt²
Substituting,
                           560 ft = 0.5(32.2)(t²)
The value of t is 5.90 s.

(a) The initial speed of the water is 190 ft/s

(b) It takes 5.90 s for the water to reach the top of the fountain

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

\large {\boxed {a = \frac{v - u}{t} } }

\large {\boxed {d = \frac{v + u}{2}~t } }

<em>a = acceleration (m / s²)v = final velocity (m / s)</em>

<em>u = initial velocity (m / s)</em>

<em>t = time taken (s)</em>

<em>d = distance (m)</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

<u>Given:</u>

h = 560 ft

g = 32.2 ft/s²

<u>Unknown:</u>

u = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

At the maximum height, the speed is 0 ft/s

<h2>Question a:</h2>

v^2 = u^2 - 2gh

0^2 = u^2 - 2 \times 32.2 \times 560

u^2 = 36064

u = \sqrt{36064}

\large {\boxed {u \approx 190 ~ ft/s} }

<h2>Question b:</h2>

v = u - gt

0 = \sqrt{36064} - 32.2t

t = \sqrt{36064} \div 32.2

\large {\boxed {t \approx 5.90 ~ s} }

A charge of -3.02 μC is fixed in place. From a horizontal distance of 0.0377 m, a particle of mass 9.43 x 10^-3 kg and charge -9
Andreyy89

Answer:

d = 0.0306 m

Explanation:

Here we know that for the given system of charge we have no loss of energy as there is no friction force on it

So we will have

U + K = constant

\frac{kq_1q_2}{r_1} + \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r_2} + \frac{1}{2}mv_2^2

now we know when particle will reach the closest distance then due to electrostatic repulsion the speed will become zero.

So we have

\frac{(9 \times 10^9)(3.02 \mu C)(9.78 \mu C)}{0.0377} + \frac{1}{2}(9.43 \times 10^{-3})(80.4)^2 = \frac{(9 \times 10^9)(3.02 \mu C)(9.78 \mu C)}{r} + 0

7.05 + 30.5 = \frac{0.266}{r}

r = 7.08 \times 10^{-3} m

so distance moved by the particle is given as

d = r_1 - r_2

d = 0.0377 - 0.00708

d = 0.0306 m

an auditorium measures 30.0 m ✕ 15.0 m ✕ 5.0 m. the density of air is 1.20 kg/m3. (a) what is the volume of the room in cubic fe
Fynjy0 [20]

dimension = 30.0 m ✕ 15.0 m ✕ 5.0 m.

density = 1.20 kg/m3

(a)volume = lenght * breadth * height

      = 30 * 15 * 5

      = 2250 metre cube = 2.25 cubic meter

(b)   mass of air = density * volume

        mass of air = 1.2 * 2250

mass of air = 2700kg

weight  = mass * 9.8

             = 2700 * 9.8

             = 26,460 N

  • The definition of Density is the amount of matter in a given space, or volume
  • Density = mass/volume
  • units for density kg/m^3
  • Density of water 1g/ml
  • Salt water is denser that is why  don't sink as easily.

If Neptune’s mass were reduced, what could be done to maintain the same force of gravitational attraction between Neptune and th
Alenkinab [10]
Make Neptune closer to the sun because then it would have a stronger gravitation pull. Because the closer the objects are, they will have a stronger gravitaional force and when the object has more mass, the gravity is also stronger. So, if the mass is reduced, the gravity force would be reduced, but if you bring neptune closer, the gravity force would increase

Of all the planets in our solar system, Jupiter has the greatest gravitational strength. If a 1.5 kg pair of running shoes would
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

gₓ = 23.1 m/s²

Explanation:

The weight of an object is on the surface of earth is given by the following formula:

W = mg

where,

W = Weight of the object on surface of earth

m = mass of object

g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth = strength of gravity on the surface of earth

Similarly, the weight of the object on Jupiter will be given as:

W_{x} = mg_{x}

where,

Wₓ = Weight of the object on surface of Jupiter = 34.665 N

m = mass of object = 1.5 kg

gₓ = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Jupiter = strength of gravity on the surface of Jupiter = ?

Therefore,

34.65 N = (1.5 kg)g_{x}

g_{x} = \frac{34.65 N}{1.5 kg}

<u>gₓ = 23.1 m/s²</u>
